'Buffy' dress, inspired by VLV and Greazefest

The Rockabilly scenes are buzzing at this time of the year, with so many festivals coming up. Australia has many wonderful Rockabilly festivals, but in size, they don't compare to the USA's Viva Las Vegas. 2008 will see VLV 11, my friends Sarah and Guy went to VLV 10 last year and from what I have heard, it is something that needs to be seen to be believed!

I made the 'Buffy' dress using a heavy Hawaiian 100% Cotton barkcloth. It is fully lined with Viscose and has an invisible zip in the centre back.

The side front and backs each have 3 soft knife pleats and the bodice has halter neck straps.

When I fitted this dress on my house model Dani, we both looked at each other and sighed.
